    Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Book Club Edition. Amid the stark surroundings of an Army post in the heart of Indian country, beautiful, cultured Hannah Wade has managed to create a private haven for herself and her handsome, dashing husband, Major Stephen Wade. And Stephen is proud not only of the home she has made for them, but of the fact that the men in his command are smitten by his wife's loveliness. Then suddenly, Hannah's comfortable, sheltered existence is shattered during an innocent afternoon ride when, her soldier escorts slain, she is taken captive by renegade Apaches under the leadership of the infamous Lutero. She is stripped naked and forced to ride in the burning desert sun, her pale skin blistering, her body easy prey to Lutero's desires. Once they arrive at his tribe's camp, she is enslaved by the Apache squaws. Yet through it all, Hannah never loses her courage or her indomitable will to survive. And though survival means living, thinking and acting like an Apache, she refuses to totally surrender- even when Lutero makes her his wife- secretly hoping that Stephen will one day rescue her. But even as Hannah gradually comes to accept her new life, Stephen is mounting raid after bloody raid, scouring the territory seeking both to regain the woman he loves and to claim terrible vengeance on the savages who took her from him. Neither Hanna nor Stephen realizes exactly how much her captivity is changing them both. Only a maverick like Jake Cutter, an army captain who long ago learned to live by his own rules, truly understands how hard a trial Hannah and Stephen will face if they're ever reunited. For only he knows how harshly the "civilized" world will judge Hannah for valuing survival more than honor. And when he rescues Hannah from the Apache village, it is a different woman he returns to Fort Bayard, one who sees, for the first time, Stephen's arrogant, prejudiced and vengeful nature. She is bewildered and alone, a woman who finds herself turning to the one man whose compassion and integrity match her own. ivilized" world will judge Hannah for valuing survival more than honor. And when he rescues Hannah from the Apache village, it is a different woman he returns to Fort Bayard, one who sees, for the first time, Stephen's arrogant, prejudiced and vengeful n (illustrator).

    Paperback. Zustand: New. Theatre has a complex history of responding to crises, long before they happen. Through stage plays, contemporary challenges can be presented, explored and even foreshadowed in ways that help audiences understand the world around them. Since the theatre of the Greeks, audiences have turned to live theatre in order to find answers in uncertain political, social and economic times, and through this unique collection questions about This anthology brings together a collection of 20 scenes from 20 playwrights that each respond to the world in crisis. Twenty of the world's most prolific playwrights were asked to select one scene from across their published work that speaks to the current world situation in 2020. As COVID-19 continues to challenge every aspect of global life, contemporary theatre has long predicted a world on the edge. Through these 20 scenes from plays spanning from 1980 to 2020, we see how theatre and art has the capacity to respond, comment on and grapple with global challenges that in turn speak to the current time in which we are living. Each scene, chosen by the writer, is prefaced by an interview in which they discuss their process, their reason for selection and how their work reflects both the past and the present. From the political plays of Lucy Prebble and James Graham to the polemics of Philip Ridley and Tim Crouch. From bold works by Inua Ellams, Morgan Lloyd Malcom and Tanika Gupta to the social relevance of Hannah Khalil, Zoe Cooper and Simon Stephens this anthology looks at theatre in the present and asks the question: "how can theatre respond to a world in crisis?" The collection is prefaced by an introduction from Edward Bond, one of contemporary theatre's most prolific dramatists.

    Zustand: Used. In an era when the mere notion of machines conjured images of steampunk fantasies and Mad Max car chases, J Hannah and RC Stephens chose the audacious path of exploring the unglamorous, yet infinitely fascinating, world of mechanical fundamentals. ?Elementary Mechanics of Machines,? published in 1963 by Edward Arnold, is an engaging treatise that, while likely to be relegated to the dusty corners of your local library, holds a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate the beautiful simplicity of levers, gears, and pulleys?tools that shaped everything from Victorian contraptions to modern-day coffee machines. Content dynamics simple harmonic motion velocity and acceleration cams crank effort diagrams governors balancing friction friction clutches belt drives and band brakes spur gearing gear trains Picture yourself in a classroom, surrounded by students gazing vacantly at diagrams of obscure contraptions. There?s a fair chance that one of them is clutching this very textbook, their eyes glazed over as they attempt to process the intricate ballet of forces and motions. Yet, herein lies the charm: Hannah and Stephens have taken the time to elucidate the complicated dance of mechanics with all the panache of a cat trying to walk on a hot tin roof. If you?ve ever wanted to understand why your toaster sometimes resembles a small explosion rather than a reliable breakfast appliance, this book might just be the enlightening experience you didn?t know you needed. Harking back to an era where it was perfectly acceptable to use an exclamation mark in every sentence and to encourage readers to triumph over mathematical dread, this text is a cavalcade of vintage academic enthusiasm. One can almost hear the echoes of old-school lecturers urging students not just to read, but to embrace the mechanical wonders of the universe. The cover, adorned with modest illustrations of gears and wheels, might not scream excitement but promises a world where science and practicality coalesce. The authors delve into topics that might seem esoteric to the average layperson, yet they manage to imbue them with a sense of importance that would make even the most uninterested reader raise an eyebrow. The mechanical principles are laid bare with all the grace of a hippo attempting ballet?delightfully clumsy yet oddly captivating. Expect equations that might make your head spin and diagrams that may promise to clarify but instead leave you questioning your life choices. But fear not! This book is here to transform your confusion into a newfound appreciation for the machines that surround us. Whether it?s the washing machine that battles dirt with a ferocity that rivals a gladiator or the bicycle that dares to challenge gravity, these mechanical marvels await your enlightenment! Condition: Used, like your uncle?s old fishing rod or that one sock you refuse to throw away. The pages may carry the aroma of time?perhaps a hint of mustiness that reminds you of your grandparent?s attic, filled with forgotten treasures and oddities. The cover bears the marks of a robust life, complete with the occasional dog-eared page that suggests someone may have been particularly fond of a chapter on friction (a riveting subject, indeed). Despite its wear and tear, it stands as a testament to its resilience, much like any good piece of machinery. In the spirit of the mechanical marvels it discusses, this book is not merely a collection of facts and figures but a call to action! It beckons you forth into the realm of gears and springs, encouraging you to ponder the very essence of motion. Who knows, by the end of your journey through its pages, you may find yourself constructing your own Rube Goldberg machine?an extravagant contraption destined to toast your morning bread while simultaneously watering the plants and folding your laundry (a feat achievable only through sheer imagination and perhaps a little wizardry). Unravel the mysteries of mechanical advantage without losi.

    Zustand: Used. In the illustrious year of 1964, a time when mod fashion and the Beatles ruled the UK, two stalwarts of scientific jargon, J Hannah and R C Stephens, decided to take the plunge into the labyrinthine world of gears, levers, and the advanced mechanics of machines. Yes, that?s right! If you?ve ever gazed longingly at a washing machine or felt overwhelmed by a particularly obstinate garden hose, this tome might just be your ticket to understanding the mechanical marvels that surround us. Or it might not. Who can say? What does one expect from a book that promises to elevate your understanding of machines to an advanced level? Perhaps riveting anecdotes about the life cycles of bolts, or thrilling tales of how a pulley system can save the day. Or maybe it?s more along the lines of an extended treatise on the benefits of friction?because nothing says ?page-turner? quite like a 200-page discussion on static versus kinetic friction. The authors, undoubtedly armed with slide rules and an unfathomable amount of tea, have crafted a masterpiece?or a perplexing puzzle?depending on your perspective. Featuring the kind of diagrams that make you question your life choices and equations that seem to come from an alternate dimension, this book is a delightful mix of practicality and existential dread. You might find yourself asking questions like, ?Why do I need to know how a crankshaft functions when I can barely keep my toaster from burning my toast?? or ?Is this really how I want to spend my Saturday afternoon?? What is particularly charming about ?Advanced Mechanics of Machines? is its uncanny ability to strike fear into the hearts of those who approach it. It?s not merely a book; it?s an invitation to unravel the very fabric of engineering consciousness. And let us not overlook the unique joy of encountering a 1964 book with no ISBN?a time capsule that speaks of a world before barcodes were a trusted companion for the bookish. What?s more, you might even feel a sense of camaraderie with previous readers who have jotted down their own notes in the margins, possibly as a form of existential therapy. As you traverse the pages, don?t be surprised if you find yourself inadvertently building a model contraption out of household items, complete with a makeshift hydraulic system using an old ketchup bottle. This is the real magic of J Hannah and R C Stephens?s work; it?s not just about mechanics; it?s about the possibility of spontaneous engineering using whatever you have on hand. After all, who could forget the moment when inspiration strikes and you find yourself knee-deep in a complex assembly of rubber bands and shoelaces? As you contemplate the mysteries of the universe through the lens of advanced machinery, you might consider the potential chaos awaiting you as you try to impress your friends with your newfound knowledge. ?Why yes,? you will say, ?I can explain the intricacies of a double reduction gear set.? And then, as their eyes glaze over, you?ll realize that perhaps you should have chosen a less riveting topic for pub conversation. Condition: Used, but honestly, who among us isn?t a bit worn around the edges? This book has lived a life, experiencing the rough and tumble of countless curious minds and perhaps a few spilled cups of tea. Its pages may show signs of wear, dog-eared corners, and the occasional ink smudge, providing a narrative of its own?one that?s far more interesting than any advanced mechanism discussed within its covers. So, if you?re ready to delve into the complex world of machinery while simultaneously questioning your life choices, look no further than ?Advanced Mechanics of Machines.? Available now at Crappy Old Books, where we proudly embrace the quirky, the ironic, and the slightly more than vaguely perplexing. Because why read something straightforward when you can grapple with the mysteries of a crankshaft instead.
